This Independent Voter Is Voting For Hillary Clinton

I was leaning towards Barak Obama for a long while, until the New Hampshire debate when to me, he revealed himself to be just another pompous egotistical male with his snide remarks, now famous I guess: “you’re likable….. enough Hillary.”

There was just something about that remark that drove me completely away from supporting Obama. It was too personal, too much male vs. female, and for me it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. To further illustrate my frustration let me show another example, in one part of the debate Edwards, supporting Obama said, ‘I didn’t hear these types of attacks from Senator Clinton when she was ahead, but now we do.’ Puhhh-lease! So it’s okay for every single other candidate to rail Hillary constantly in the media and at debates, but she’s not allowed to attack anyone else? Is Edwards new to politics? Maybe he hasn’t heard of the Clintons? They attack when they need to and are extremely good at it. The fact that she did wait so long to begin direct attacks on the other candidates does show a measure of respect for a clean campaign, much more so than Obama or Edwards obviously.

The idea that Hillary isn’t an agent of change is just plain false. Who was the first one to formally address health-care reform? Hillary, more than 10 years ago. It can seem like Obama is the one really preaching change, but she has been fighting the same battle a lot longer than he has. I was honestly buying into his message there for a while, but like I said, his snide comments at the New Hampshire debates to me revealed his true nature, another predatory oblivious egotistical male. So he spent a couple years in the world of Chicago politics, this makes him an agent of change how?

Oh and one last thing, a message to TIME’s Ana Marie Cox who said after Edwards’ Comments (listed above): “Hillary: Angry, Attacking, Frustrated. This May Be the Moment We Look Back on and Say, ‘That’s When She Lost.” NOPE, for me that is when I realized I was voting for Hillary.
